More from Kabir
"Truth untethers the heart and frees burdens unseen."
"The bird sings, but it does not know why. The human speaks, but he does not know why."
"The true mantra is not a word, but a state of mind; it is the remembrance of God in every breath."
"The path to God is not in going to Mecca or Varanasi, but in looking within."
"Pundit, you've got it wrong."
About Kabir (c. 1440-1518)
Indian mystic poet whose verses (preserved in the Sikh Guru Granth Sahib and the Hindu Bhakti tradition) attacked both Hindu and Islamic orthodoxy. Closely associated with Guru Nanak (founder of Sikhism, who incorporated Kabir's verses). For an intellectual contrast, see Brahmanical priesthood, the ritualistic Hindu establishment of his era — Kabir's poetry is the founding text of bhakti devotional rebellion against ritualistic Hinduism — his verses ridicule caste, ritual purity, and priestly mediation as religious theatre.
